Let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker A:All right, question number one.
Speaker A:In commemoration of the Tesco Club Card's 30th birthday, Tesco is launching a nightclub pop up for the 55% of Brits surveyed who feel nostalgic about the 90s and early aughts.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:What club from the 90s would you most want reincarnated?
Speaker B:Okay, okay.
Speaker B:That's easy, Anne.
Speaker A:And the.
Speaker A:The whole, like, head bobbing SNL skit is optional.
Speaker A:Yeah, the Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell.
Speaker B:I can never do that.
Speaker B:For me, it's easy.
Speaker B:It's light at the Bellagio, Ann, Because I had many nights at the Bellagio, many good nights at Light in the Bellagio.
Speaker B:And that's actually where I met Mrs.
Speaker B:Omnitok.
Speaker B:Was on the dance floor, you know, rolled up to her, said, hey, how you doing?
Speaker B:All right, next one.
Speaker B:Last month, Uber said it will soon roll out new accounts for senior citizens with a larger typeface, fewer buttons, and easier to follow instructions.
Speaker B:Be honest.
Speaker B:And when you heard this story, how much did you want this feature for yourself?
Speaker A:I mean, I don't think I need all the features.
Speaker A:However, I will say I do like the photo scavenger hunt that they give you from, like, some of the airports will, like, post pictures.
Speaker A:I think it was in Paris last year where they, like had the photos that guide you.
Speaker A:Like, look for this elevator, look for this street sign like that help lead you that way.
Speaker A:I would definitely take that every single time.
Speaker A:So if that comes with the senior citizen Uber, sign me up.
Speaker B:Good to go.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker A:All right, Chris.
Speaker A:Auntie Anne's is rolling out a brand new layout to appeal to Gen Z.
Speaker A:Coming to a mall near you.
Speaker A:I have to know, is there any mall treat that you can think of that is better than an Auntie Ann's pretzel?
Speaker B:Yeah, pretty much everything.
Speaker B:I hate Aunt Dance pretzels.
Speaker B:Yeah, I do.
Speaker B:And this is hard because I actually have an Aunt Ann and so shout out to her too.
Speaker B:I'm doing lots of shout outs on this.
Speaker B:No, I hate them.
Speaker B:They don't have the right butter to salt to texture ratio.
Speaker B:No, I go.
Speaker B:I go full on Bavarian with my pretzels.
Speaker A:And have you tried the nuggets too?
Speaker A:No, those might be better for you.
Speaker A:They're not like, not definitely not better for you.
Speaker A:They are not good for you.

Speaker B:I think it's the Bitterball or something like that.
Speaker B:It's like a ball.
Speaker B:It's like a.
Speaker B:It's like a hush puppy, but of meat, I think.
